Preparing for an uncertain future and sharing our journey with you
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags are not good for the environment. The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, “We didn’t have this ‘green thing’ back in my day.” The young clerk responded, “That’s […]

It’s no surprise that most preparedness minded people tend to focus heavily on food, water, equipment and firearms as those will likely be the most immediate needs in a crisis. However, do you or will you have the physical and mental strength to weather such a crisis? This is a question I have often asked myself through this journey and sadly, if I’m to be honest with myself, I would have to say no. Continue reading “Practicing Your Preps: Hiking”
Do you ever wonder about where your water comes from? Does it seem weird to you that something that falls from the sky for free costs you money every month? Is it weird to you that people in some parts of the country are getting fined and jailed for collecting rainwater? Do you wonder who […]
Hurricane, EMP attack, Solar flare, Yellowstone Volcano, Global Warming, race war, civil war, foreign invasion, viral outbreak, take over by the Federal Government, financial collapse or economic depression, zombie apocalypse; what is it that drives you to prepare for the future?
Hurricane: I think we can all agree on the massive devastation and chaos a hurricane can cause as we’ve witnessed it time and time again. 2016 saw the first increase in hurricane activity since 2012 with 7 hurricanes and 4 considered major.

YouTube and other sites have plenty of articles and videos on the topic, but many are lacking complete information.

If you are considering adding some solar to your preps here is a great video to get you going.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Happy prepping!
I can’t count the number of times I have heard someone say that they don’t need to worry about storing food because they will “live off the land.” A lot of the time I hear this from guys who spend thousands of dollars per year on gear, a lease, food plots, feed, and fuel in order […]
